Have you ever had pain that just wouldn’t go away—no matter what you tried?

That was Vivian’s experience with elbow pain that lasted for five straight months. No injury. No obvious cause. And every treatment only brought temporary relief.

Until one question—from a mind-body consultant—revealed the emotional pattern hidden beneath the pain.

In this episode of In Your Bones™, Vivian unpacks how emotional experiences get stored in the body, how the nervous system influences physical symptoms, and how healing sometimes requires listening, not just treating.

You’ll also learn:

• The real story behind Vivian's elbow pain and the emotional stressor behind it
• How emotional stress creates physical pain in the absence of structural injury
• The 7 signs your pain might be emotional, not just physical
• Why the nervous system often holds the key to symptoms that don’t respond to treatment
• How to begin decoding your own pain patterns and what your body might be trying to tell you

This episode is for you if:

• You've tried everything - physio, massage, meds - and your pain keeps coming back
• You're starting to suspect there's an emotional component but don't know where to look
• You've been told it's "all in your head" and you're done being gaslit about your pain

What you'll walk away with:

• 7 signs your pain could be emotionally-driven
• How to begin investigating your own body’s messages with more curiosity and less fear
• Validation that your pain is real, and so is your body’s wisdom

Your pain isn't random. It's your brain's response to signals from your environment, your senses, and your social world.

Vivian unpacks the neuroscience of the brain-body connection: why your brain generates pain as protection, how it catalogs threat, and what it takes to signal safety to your body so your nervous system can finally downregulate.

Here's what most people get wrong: You can't think your way into feeling safe. You have to signal it to your body. And that's neurology, not just mindset.

What happens when the medical system tells you to "wait and see"—and you decide you're done waiting?

In the very first episode of In Your Bones™, host Vivian takes you back to the moment everything changed: a routine school screening and a diagnosis that would shape the next three decades of her life.

Scoliosis.

But this isn't just a story about a curved spine.

It's about what happens when you grow up feeling like something's wrong with you. When you try to fix, control, and perfect your way out of pain. When you exhaust every expert, every protocol, every promise and still feel unseen.

And then… when you finally stop searching outside yourself and start listening to what your body's been protecting you from all along.

In this episode, Vivian shares:

• The moment she realized her body wasn't broken—it was wise
• How years of hiding, overachieving, and "staying strong" kept her stuck
• Why yoga teacher training cracked something open (and not in a good way)
• The conflicting medical advice that left her more confused than empowered
• How she became the evidence no one could give her—and reduced her curve in her 30s and 40s
• The deeper truth beneath all physical pain: your bones are holding your history

This episode is for you if:

• You've been told to "just do yoga" or "wait and see" about your scoliosis or chronic pain
• You're tired of feeling like your body is broken or like you're doing something wrong
• You've tried all the protocols, but nothing feels sustainable or aligned
• You're ready to stop fixing and start listening
• You want to understand the body-brain connection and how emotions live in your posture

What you'll walk away with:

• A new way of understanding your body, not as something to control, but as something to relate to
• Permission to stop performing strength and start embodying safety
• Hope that healing isn't about doing more, it's about understanding what you've been protecting yourself from
• An invitation into a community where you're not alone in this journey
